I remember kicking it with him before ...and after ..the accident. I remember the heavy feeling driving by where it happened. I was living the “hip hop dream life” and docs accident was one of the few things that made me think about real consequences. The other was when Scott la Rock died ..I’d talked to him a week before..on the phone.. and it tripped me out to think that he was dead. I’m almost 50 now and I’ve lived in a small mountain town in nor cal for over 25 yrs..it’s like 93%white. Once every ten years or so I get to trip someone out by saying shit like “so..I was in the studio with Dre one time..”. Other than that all my old stories and crazy life are useless.

This story is proof that God works his magic.

Publishing rights and all, dude still came out on top.

That record and his voice EXPLODED on to the scene. His story needs to be told fully.

"Return of da Livin Dead" is one of my favorites, mostly because it showed D.O.C. wasn't about to give up. He took that setback, learned from it, and kept pushing forward. It's a great sequel to "It's Funky Enough" on so many levels.

His real voice is the one he continuously uses. The change in voicing is likely due to position of his head and proximity to the neck creating compensation of the vocal cord to adduct (come to midline closure) at that moment creating a less strained, raspy, and breathy vocal quality. He likely has had vocal therapy extensively and intensively
